    That’s a nice start, but it needs to be free for all kids, like at least my state

      Yeah, there no god damned reason K-12 lunch shouldn’t be free. Fucking bonkers to add another line item to people’s budgets. Especially now.

        Its funny because I dont understand Mormons enough to know why the videos are taboo. They always look like dream sequences for some reason.

          I’m 100% certain it is for Mormons, but I don’t know if it’s by Mormons or not. Based on my personal encounters with them, actual Mormon girls are way hotter than the girls in the porn.

      The show American Primeval was the beginning, they showed how they ripped people/towns/indians apart for that land under government control by Brigham young. True or not, I’d believe it given their stake today.

        Joseph Smith, the Jesus Christ of Mormonism, was killed by an angry mob who stormed a prison he was being held in to execute him for scamming them.

          also in the books!

          the expanse is probably the most faithful reproduction of a book series ever.

          especially considering it’s like, what?, 5 books they made into the series?

          it’s almost a 1:1 translation into a different medium, which is hella impressive!

          they cut some stuff here and there (more and more as the series goes on, for obvious reasons) but seriously, damn near everything about the main story is there!

          there’s really good reasons for the fans demanding more of it after Netflix stopped production

    It makes me sad I wasn’t expecting this headline from Utah whatsoever when starting to read it but I’m glad it’s positive in the end

      Utah is a little weird in that they aren’t so Mich maga as much as they are Mormon, they have progressive politics when it just so happens to suit the church’s needs

        Sort of. Our leadership have been doing some incredibly sketchy things lately and are very buddy-buddy with Trump.

        Yeah that’s a good point. Mormons are still weird to me but I’ve known some and they are pretty chill people for the most part and pretty rational about stuff. Much, much easier to hang around than fucking southern baptists and can even be fun. I smoke a lot of weed and they never partook but never cared so I always thought that was cool

    They’re playing the long game here.

    1st remove fluoride from municipal water sources, kids start getting more cavities.

    2nd give free lunches.

    3rd kids stop eating their free lunches due to the pain of their cavities.

    4th State government proclaims they’ve done such a tremendous job with the economy that kids aren’t eating and needing free meals anymore, so they are removing them from the budget.

    I’ve been saying, “oh well” at just about every headline I’ve read in the past three months as a coping mechanism, but this one caught me off guard. I definitely expected Utah to charge kids full-price. Glad to hear they’re looking out for kids.

      Mormons kinda give a shit about their communities

      Good foreign policies too. They fought in court to pay less taxes because they dont pay for any war.

      Imagine children getting free lunches and you still manage to make it about: “ARF THEM EVIL WHITE PEOPLE!!!11”

      Got outside, lunatic.

        Spicy response, I know, but “it’s always about evil white people”?

        Nuh-uh, not going there.
